Oh......my gosh!

He went and did it, another model completed. No, I won't say kudos. "Wack-a-doo" means the same thing.

Anyway, great looking model, busy as can be with wings, color and detail!! A canopy to die for, to boot.

Outstanding!

Really hard to believe you use aerosol cans, but I'm following your moves, including the clear coat.

Thanks guys.  I forgot to mention the vinyl transfers came from Charles.  They went on great, look fantastic.
 I'm especially pleased with the canopy, Charles - my first attempt at making my own using the plastic bottle and the advice from this forum!  Stunthanger rocks!

 Cool airplane Will, looks like you'll have enough fuel on board to fly across the ocean! ;D

I know where you're coming from, Wayne, but it was a tank I had in the drawer and I didn't feel like waiting for another to come in the mail!  Shucks, maybe if it flies the pattern okay I'll just leave it full and do two patterns at a time! LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~

Thanks Ty, the accuracy of the colors must be credited to your help.  The canopy is my first to do using the plastic bottle/heatgun/balsa mold technique.  Wow, does that ever work nice!  The framework on the canopy is made with guitar plastic binding strips that were heat formed using the Monocote gun as well.  It really wasn't as much work as it looks like it would be thanks to the guys on here sharing their knowledge.
The winds are slacking off here - soon!

Will,
 Beautiful airplane! I have two questions.

1. Is the bellcrank mount simply epoxied to inboard side or does it pass through from outboard to inboard?

2. How does it fly?

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks a bunch, Jim.  The bellcrank mount is V shaped and is imbedded past the motor mount beams with a 1/8 piano wire keeper that goes through the bottom beam, on through the ply mounts and then on up through the top beam.  (Aint a goin' nowhere.)
I'm the guy who, if a carpenter tells me to use three 8 penny nails to hold something, I use ten!

As to how it flies?  Weeeeelll...errr, uuh, I haven't flipped a bloody prop on anything this season so far!  I'm not sure what it is, but the desire to go out has totally left me at this time.  I fly alone most of the time, Jeff Traxler is an hour away, so that means two hours on the road to go fly with him, and I've just let me get too involved in other activities to do that so far.

I WILL fly the beast yet this year, Lord willing, and promise to post it here when I do.  I also have a new semi-scale stunter of my old Pawnee to fly for its first flight!  (Lazy old goat that I am!) HB~>
